    Agreed. Plus they have the self-contained, expeditionary mindset you need for that sort of thing. Again, IMO.

    I would say NASA usually more than anybody when it comes to space. They can set back and watch AF and Navy fight it out.

    NASA is not allowed to act in a military manner. They are civilians.. How many people groaned? Never mind all those military pilots.

    On top of that, Navy has nuclear power bureaucracy at the ready. Any serious exploitation of near-Earth space is going to demand a lot of reactor experience.
